Teeny-Tiny Set Tour!

This year's set had a late 1960s/ early 1970s vibe going with lots of avocado and other shades of green --some bright some earthier, along with some wood tones and gold accents.



The first piece I made was for the set was the tiny, lime green vinyl couch with gold buttons.  Once that as complete, I designed the rest of the set around it and went shopping for the rug, wall paper, and materials for the other  furniture pieces and accessories.

The flocked paper seemed fitting for the walls, and I knew the kittens would love the shaggy carpet, which is just a couple yards of "fun fur".

The coffee table and shelving were just small boxes covered with a thin wood veneer.



On the table, a couple of teeny kitten magazines.



Here's a close-up of the covers. After we get through the FUNdraiser, I'll be making these designs (along with last year's) into post cards.

It takes hours to come up with the ideas and design these tiny magazines, but gosh, it's fun, and I just giggle the whole time I'm doing it.





The tiny cat tower was on set last year, but modified to work with this year's design.




Lots of shiny gold and woodgrain on the desk and stage -- a little flashy, a little earthy.





And many potted ferns were sprinkled around the set.  All the pots were glued down to the stage and the ferns were glued into the pots. I knew the kittens would find those interesting, so I had to take some precautionary measures.



And the phones, of course -- there were three different sizes to accommodate growing kittens.



On the desk, tiny coffee mugs. That's Marc Maron on those mugs -- a favorite podcaster/comedian/ cat wrangler.



On the walls were a collection of photos featuring Bean, Wylla, and a few foster kittens in our front window. From left to right: Wylla and Bart Mittenfloss, Bean and Myron/Myra Clover,  Langston VonTussle, The Patmores,  and Bean with Genevieve Patmore.



When I started the set, I had no idea who our phone bank volunteers would be, so I had to pick a palette that would work with a lot of colors of kittens. Our little Dinichi Family coordinates nicely!



I hope you enjoyed the tour!   I sure enjoyed making the set and love sharing it with all of you.
